Preferred term

impact of homelessness on children  

Definition(s)

  • In most American cities, homeless children are situated in a family shelter or transitional housing, although a minority can be found sleeping with other family members in such places as campgrounds or cars. According to a 1989 Government Accounting Office report, on any given night, upwards of 200,000 children are homeless—not counting unaccompanied homeless adolescents.
